Party strengths

[edit]

It strikes me as misleading to refer to North as the leader of a "Tory party". No such party existed at the time; 'Tory' was just a term of abuse used by the opposition to denegrate a government they felt was too much under the influence of the King. Unless anyone objects, I'll list him as "non-partisan". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pig house (talkcontribs) 15:28, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
